With all the times that I have found out that people have lied about their living situations i.e. No fenced yard, no backyard, kids when was requested no kids, other dogs when no other dogs were suppose to be around etc. So I have also started requiring home inspections. If I cannot physically then I request time stamped pictures or find other ways of finding out that they are being truthful. What is nice when you have friends in other states who can help you do home checks. If it scares people away then there is a strong chance that they are hiding something. So actually if it does scare people away then this request is helping you weed out the homes that are not right for your beloved furry four legged children.

She asked, "do you do a home inspection". I'd like to know how many if any do this and does it work or scare folks away? Just curious~? ?Brenda Payne www.jescarkennels.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
